Your chance to win a prize, just for sitting in the middle

We know that not every seat is created equal. But we believe that every seat should be wonderful - even the ones in the middle.


That's why we created the Middle Seat Lottery. It turns our middle seats into a chance to win wonderful weekly prizes, including flights to Tokyo plus 250,000 Velocity Points, a sea-to-sky adventure through Tangalooma Island, or even a North Queensland getaway with a chance to swim with saltwater crocodiles.

Competition ends 11:59 pm AEST on 9 July, 2023
